I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for
draft-ietf-softwire-bgp-te-attribute-03.txt

For background on Gen-ART, please see the FAQ at
<http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/gen/art/gen-art-FAQ.html>.

Please resolve these comments along with any other Last Call comments
you may receive.

Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as Proposed Standard
but I have a few comments.

Major
=====

Section 5: Impact on scalability

* This document states that

"Use of Traffic Engineering Attribute does not increase the number of
routes"

but I am not sure if this is true.

Say I have a route 200.0.2.0/24 with a TE attribute field X and a route 
200.0.3.0/24 with TE attribute field Y. Without the TE attribute these 
could have been aggregated to a 200.0.2.0/23, but with the attribute, 
they cannot be. Am I reading this wrong?

Minor
=====

Section 3

* This document does not define whether Switching Capability-specific 
information is included when the switching cap field is set to Fiber 
Switch Capable (FSC)

Cheers
Suresh
